Water is very valuable, without it we all die; but how much are you willing to pay for it? It have a very low perceived value. The problem here is perceived balance rather than actual balancing. At least for 1v1 balancing we can take in all factors i.e damage, defence and etc normalised those value and do a dot product each and every ship would give a score. Tweak those factors and let all ship share the same score, some could be high on attack but compensated with weaker defence and/or other aspect, that's perfect balance at least for 1v1. However this formula can't solve perceive balance issue, human being human would simply QQ about pros of ships with higher attack and totally ignore factors that was sacrifice to achieve it. |

EM is the best damage type in the game. It's not even close. EM is the lowest resist on the vast majority of PvP ships. Even armor battleships usually go for a 3-hardener setup now leaving EM as the lowest resist.
EM used to be terrible during the winmatar days when everything had minnie T2 resists, but now Minmatar T2 ships are almost nonexistent and we have Gallente supremacy where all their T2 stuff has EM as the lowest (shield tank) or second-lowest (armor tank) resist. |

Expensive? perhaps, but it can be done cheaper by the attack battlecruisers. They can counter by picking up their sentries and chasing you, but then they are doing exactly 0 DPS. Stop letting them fight how they want, and this problem will go away.
Unfortunately, last I checked target painters have no effect against stationary targets. If I am wrong I'll be happy to hear it! |

Yes, it's true that Gallente T2 profile has EM as the weakest resist.
But when your entire race is functionally restricted to it, if it ever becomes popular, and thus tanked against, then the entire race is toothless once again.
That's what I'm talking about, having EM, and only EM, as the highest damage in every viable ammo type is just hamstringing them, and pigeonholing them into "counter meta" only.
Some variety is not too much to ask for, surely? "Verily, I have often laughed at the weaklings who thought themselves good because they had no claws."

That such an idea is and takes quite awhile does not mean that such an idea is impossible or can never be accomplished. Though roping in several dozen respected fitters and theory crafters, tossing them under an NDA on the projects details and letting them have at early versions of proposed ships with the stated intention of breaking them would help in many ways, as there will always be edge case fits that do something that makes people go lolwut.

and the dual rep Diemos isn't exactly swimming in hp buffer but it does just fine. It also has a sig radius that's 20% larger than the Vagabonds!
But if the Vaga pushed a low to a mid and got a CPU buff it would be fan-effin'-tastic. You could even dual invul fit it and have an insane tank!
EDIT: which might make the ship silly actually. just did the maths and with HG crystal set it's an obscene tank and if you swap a T2 Invul for a Pith A-Type you're looking at an effective EHP after 10 overloaded cycles of 192k EHP. Another mid might actually break the Vagabond |

It's absurdly difficult for non-Minmatar shield tankers to plug the EM hole. Single-resist shield hardeners are never used, as doing so eliminates one of the major advantages of a shield tank, namely that invulns are so much stronger than EANMs. Most shield tanked ships below BS size don't have the slots to fit hardeners at all.
Armor tankers are also unlikely to overcompensate against EM regardless of its popularity. Right now there is more kinetic damage being thrown around than everything else combined, but you don't see ships fitting multiple kinetic hardeners. The worst for EM damage would be people going back to EANM fits, but using EANMs stacking nerfs your armor ganglinks into uselessness.
Also, only Minmatar gets a T2 resist bonus against EM. The other three races don't. Hybrids are mostly kinetic and they're the most popular weapon system after drones despite the fact that they basically don't do any damage against Amarr, Caldari, and Gallente T2 shield tanks.
Quite honestly it's the thermal damage that holds lasers back, not the EM damage. Lasers would be much better if they were 100% EM, and the fact that Scorch is mostly EM is another big reason why it's so ridiculously good. |

This is why the killboards show lasers as the top weapons and EM Missiles on every kill right? Stats simply don't hold up showing EM is good. |

Weapons have other stats besides damage type. Just because EM is the best damage type doesn't mean EM weapons are automatically the best, they can be held back by other problems. For example, the Ishtar, Tengu, Vulture, and Eagle are all incredibly weak to EM damage. Unfortunately, they can snipe from 130km where no cruiser-sized weapons that deal EM damage can hit them. The missile ships that are actually good tend to be pigeonholed into Kinetic damage as well, and we've already established that autocannons are an awful weapon system right now for a variety of reasons.
In general, large lasers are held back by fitting costs and poor slot layouts, and medium lasers are held back by the fact that if you're fitting medium lasers it means you're not flying an Ishtar. Having a better damage type doesn't mean **** when your ship natively has half the DPS and tracking at any given range to begin with. Also, when you're using the game's best weapon system (sentry drones) you run into the problem that Praetors are terrible. What genius thought giving these things a 12km falloff on a 42km optimal was balanced? Bouncers are 42+48 and even Gardes have an 18km falloff. |

An 8/4/7 tempest would allow it to focus on something, 8/7/4 would as well.
But slot layout alone isn't going to fix the ship.
I think what would be really nice for the hull is for it to be able to output dps on the level of a battleship. The active tank specialized BS (mael) and the tier 3 battlecruiser both put it to shame.
7 turrets w/ the fleet issue getting 8, or an upped bonus (one of the 5% per level gets changed to 7.5%). or just take the thing in a different direction entirely like the geddon, maybe give it a bonus to web and TP range.
The muninn also suffers and a velocity change isn't going to do anything about that. If autocannons and artillery are to stay as they are, the muninn needs to fill one of it's rolls better.
Sniping? Larger alpha (5% damage bonus to 7.5%) Brick brawler? lose the optimal bonus and give it an armor resist bonus, or again, maybe bonus to web and TP
Both the ships are in the same boat. Neither snipes that well, neither brawls that well. When we compare the ability to find a solid competitive function for either ship when compared to drone boats? It's just laughable.
It's a larger issue than 10m/s buffs or the shifting of a slot will address.
We're sold "hit and run and versatility"; but what we find in the box when we get home is "fail and run and lack of focus"
Either let this ships hit harder, last longer... or give them some ability to control an engagement. Because there is nothing either of them can do that isn't done SIGNIFICANTLY better by every other ship holding that role in it's class (or in some applications, done significantly better by lesser class ships) "The unending paradox is that we do learn through pain." |

CCP Rise wrote:Hi guys
You may or may not have seen me make a post a while back saying that we were intending to do a revisit on battleship and heavy assault cruiser balance for this summer, and I can now be a little more specific with you about that!
After digging into this we were both happy and a bit surprised to find that there weren't a lot of clear changes needed. Battleships especially seem to be in a pretty solid place. There are ships within the class getting less use than others, but that is almost completely due to either the meta favoring certain things (this is why the Abaddon isn't seeing a lot of action for example) or due to the ship falling into a niche that isn't extremely popular even though the ship performs exceptionally in that niche (the Hyperion is a great example of this). So the result is that for now we are going to leave BS alone and keep checking back for opportunities to make improvements.
HACs on the other hand are a slightly different story. In general the class gained a lot of power in the last pass and it's seeing plenty of use across the board, but there are some pretty clear imbalances between certain ships in the class. If you've undocked lately you probably know the Ishtar especially is a little out of control. Here's the small set of changes we're going to make:
Ishtar: Bonus to drone tracking and optimal range from 7.5% per level -> 5% per level Max Velocity from 195 -> 185
Eagle: Max Velocity from 180 -> 190
Muninn: Max velocity from 210 -> 230
We expect that some of you will feel this is far too gentle on the Ishtar, and we understand that (it's what we heard from the CSM as well), but we get releases very often now and we're happy to be conservative here, rather than nuke it out of the game, and just make more changes if they're needed in the following release.
Looking forward to your feedback as always
PS - how would you feel about an 8/4/7 Tempest?
Note for clarity: Hyperion release date is August 26
Eagle: +15Mbit Drone bandwidth. Problem Solved.
No way in hell a T1 Moa should do 50 or more dps than its Hac variant. Its struggles to break past 430 dps, maybe 450. Shame.

Also, Munnin is trash, maybe not so much if autocannon based ;/ Extra 10m/s is irrelevant.
Finally, sentry Ishtar not a problem. Long range: Virtually no tank. Spends most of his time trying to alpha frigs and dessies. reduction in tracking bonus is irrelevant at 75-80 km. Close range: Reduced dps more on tank/reps, Theres no right answer. Could be using nuets and webs plus blasters. reduction in tracking bonus is irrelevant in brawl range (scram, web), which you most often be in. Only YOU can prevent internet bullying! |

Virtually no tank? lol. It can fit very well an extender and resists to allow the scimitars to keep it easily alive.
No other hac have EVEN CLOSE to the same tank while able to hit at 80 km with that level of damage. "If brute force does not solve your problem..... -áthen you are -ásurely not using enough!" |

No sosrry they are not the TRULY fastest. EFT warriros might think so, but in REAL game, where acceleration matters, minmatar shps are trashed. What that means? THat before they can reach their final superior speed a gallente boat will outaccelerate them and tackle them.
Minmatar need to go back to their roots. Lose a bit of EHP and lose a bit of mass (or gain agility) "If brute force does not solve your problem..... -áthen you are -ásurely not using enough!" |
